Spatial data warehouses and SOLAP: a new GIS technology Geosciences, mapping day Jean-Paul KASPRZYK, phd student
Introduction: GIS and SOLAP • GIS : OnLine Transactional Processing (OLTP) • Daily management of spatial data • Easy update, integrity and no redundancy of the data • Based on transactional databases • Entity association approach • Easy access to data • SOLAP : Spatial OnLine Analytical Processing (Bédard, 1997) • Decision support (Business intelligence) • Archiving temporal dimension • Based on data warehouses • Multidimensional approach • Easy exploration of the data at different aggregation levels • Integration of large amount of heterogeneous data
Multidimensional approach Time: day Province Commune Commune Time: month Offence Place Offence Place Time: year Offence Place Fact: offence Offender address Serial Commune Commune Snowflake schema of the criminal data Province
SOLAP Architecture ETL Data warehouse Source data Data cube (SOLAP server) OLAP SOLAP
OLAP interface : drill down Operation drill down
OLAP interface : drill through operation drill through
OLAP interface: slice operation Slice (time) Slice (serie)
SOLAP Interface: spatial drill down (1) MDX request SELECT {[Measures].[offence]} ON COLUMNS, {[offence place].[province].members} ON ROWS FROM [offence]
Conclusion • Advantages of SOLAP • Integration and exploration of large amounts of heterogeneous data • Simple interface • Quick requests • Ideal for decision support • Spatial OLAP = new technologies • spatial operations can still be improved • Example: buffer operation through the data cube
